Synopsis:
Larkin Mancinkus prides herself on making the town of Whynot, North Carolina just a little sweeter. As owner of Sweet Cakes Bakery, Larkin gets all the town gossip – the sugar, the spice, and the everything not so nice. So when she finds herself on the tip of everyone’s tongue thanks to an encounter with a mysterious and handsome stranger, she learns the true meaning of ‘if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Deacon Locke has spent his life traveling the world with no particular destination in mind. But when he rolls into Whynot on his Harley, he just knows there is something different about this town. What he doesn’t know is that out of all the places he’s traveled and all the people he’s met, the gorgeous bakery owner might just entice him to put down some solid roots.
Come on down to see what’s cookin’ between Larkin and Deacon!

It’s been a minute since I spent some time in Whynot, but from the first page it felt like I had never left. The small town vibe, the gossip mill and the Mancinkus family made me feel like I was home and watching as Larkin ~ the last Mancinkus left standing ~ found love in the most unexpected of ways was all kinds of fun and kept me turning the pages until there were no more words to read.
I adored Deacon and Larkin. Deacon is so much more that his appearance suggests. Straight forward, charming, playful and laid back. The man made it so easy for me to fall for him and wish that I had my own Deacon in my life. Larkin is sassy, intelligent and content with the life she has chosen for herself. Her family is everything to her, as is the town they call their own. She has her insecurities and they, at times, wreak havoc on her emotions, but I loved watching her work at letting them go and become stronger for it.
Deacon and Larkin’s journey was all kinds of goodness. Their bantering was sweet and sexy and the slow burn of their relationship totally worked for me as they got to know each other. What I ended up loving, and appreciating, the most was how they communicated with each other. They still had conversations with themselves in their heads, but they were also honest and upfront with what they were feeling, even when they didn’t necessarily want to be and in the end I loved where they both ended up.
This book, this series, has been a lot of fun to read. I love the small town feel and how everyone knows everyone else’s business ~ at least in some way shape or form. Hanging out with the Mancinkus clan was so much fun and getting to see where they were all at in their relationships and lives. And as for that epilogue...it was perfect!
